Summary of the contracting process

DN Colleges Group procured refurbishment works for the Waterfront Restaurant on the second floor of The Hub, Chappell Drive, Doncaster. The single project covered internal alterations and refurbishment of the existing restaurant, associated bar, takeaway and collection area, and adjoining classroom space. The aim was to improve the layout, finishes, appearance and functionality of these areas, creating a better restaurant and teaching environment for the college group. The works included building refurbishment and completion, dismantling, plastering, painting, electrical installation, joinery and carpentry, floor laying and covering, and installation of built-in furniture. This is a building works requirement delivered at DN Colleges Group’s Doncaster premises.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gelder Ltd on 23 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active from 23 July 2026 to 21 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £116,910.30 excluding VAT, or £140,292.36 including VAT. The estimated lot value was £110,000 excluding VAT, or £132,000 including VAT. This was a below-threshold open competition with one lot. The tender deadline was 10 June 2026 at 1pm, and the enquiry deadline was 3 June 2026 at 1pm. Evaluation used a 60% price and 40% technical quality weighting. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates demand from DN Colleges Group for small-to-medium refurbishment projects in operational college environments, combining multiple building trades under one main contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience managing internal alterations and refurbishment across hospitality, teaching and communal areas, with capability spanning finishes, plastering, decoration, flooring, joinery, built-in furniture, electrical installation, dismantling and general completion works. The successful supplier would also need to coordinate the different trades and deliver a functional, presentable environment for both catering and education use. The procurement was explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller established contractors with suitable construction management, subcontractor coordination and relevant refurbishment experience could be well placed.
